With
Maibaum back at the typewritter (with-writer Micheal G Wilson) and former Bond
editor John Glen at the helm, For Your Eyes Only marked the return of the more
serious James Bond movie. This 1981 release was the 12th Bond from UA and Cubby
Broccoli. Although the movie includes a few comical scenes with Q and a
throwaway with Blofeld, everything is played straight and down to earth. The
story involves Bond's mission to recover a stolen missile-lauch transmitter, and
a young Greek women's thirst for revenge for the murder of her parents. Carole
Bouquet is well cast as the vengeful Melina, while Topol's sported Columbo
triggers fond memories of "Russia"'s wonderful Pedro Armendrariz. |
